Is there a way to clear paragraph styles in a paragraph that has a style applied to it, to start with a clean slate so to speak. When I try to change a particular style in a section of text with a different style it won't do it perhaps because theres bits of other styles applied to it. There seems no way of getting rid of this or previous styles.
There must be a 'clear formatting' button or something but I can't find it.
It's really a bit unclear what the goal is here.
As with all the other replies - there's a multitude of ways to disect what you're looking for
I'll start at the beginning
When you first create a text frame - it automatically has a paragraph style called
Basic Paragraph Style should only used as a starting point - always create your own paragraph style
Here I've called mine Body
If you apply Bold or Italic or another override to the style you get a plus sign beside the name
If you use a Character Style and apply it to the text within a paragraph (highly recommended)
The plus sign disappears
Regardless of whether the text style is Overridden (as shown by a plus sign) or if there is a Character Style applied
Hold Down
ALT and SHIFT
Then Click the Body style and the formatting disappears from the paragraph.
This brings it back to the original Text Style without formatting
